Ukraine expects strong decisions in the 16th package of penalties in the European Union against Russia, the President said.
President Vladimir Zelensky in Polish Krakow met with European Council President Antoniu Koshta. They discussed the upcoming 16th package of EU penalties against Russia, as well as possible sources of funding the Ukrainian defense industry, the Ukrainian leader’s press service on Monday, January 27, said.
“We need to continue to put pressure on Putin, and the penalties are one of the really strong instruments.
According to Zelensky, Ukraine relies on strong decisions in the 16th package of penalties in the European Union against the Russian Federation, which even limit the state’s capabilities to continue the war.
Zelensky and Koshta paid special attention to military assistance. The President emphasized that the development of the domestic defense industry, especially the manufacture of drones and long weapons, is a priority, which will strengthen our state’s position to achieve a fair and long -world world. They discussed the possible sources of financing of domestic weapons by using frozen properties of the Russian Federation.
Special attention is paid to preparations for an informal meeting of EU leaders who gathered on February 3.
“Ukraine relies on the beginning of new powerful initiatives to provide ammunition,” the OP mentioned.
Zelensky also said our state wants to open some clusters on EU negotiations in the first half of this year and counts the support of the European Council president in ensuring unity in member states. Coshta emphasized that not only Ukraine, but throughout Europe, it is required by a fair and long world.
“We will accompany you to the shoulder as much as you need,” the European Council president assured.
Remember that now the European Union has expanded economic penalties against Russia for another six months – until July 31. Hungary at the last moment has agreed to expand sanctions against Russia. The Budapest has made concessions in exchange for adopting a statement in which his fear of “energy security” will be considered.
